Tradition says it was in this pool where law and justice were anciently dispensed by virture of water; as late as 1560, the trial of a reputed witch took place in it & from this it is believed to have formally been called the Ordeal Pot, and that the common name as given on trace, is a corruption which has come to be almost generally applied to it. |

The name Reservoir was referred to ascertain if it should not be written as Elgin Water Works Reservoir but the
examiner states "This object is not known by the name of Elgin Waterworks Reservoir. I do not think the name
Reservoir should have been given to this object as it is more in the form of a well covered over than a Reservoir." |
